"As an educator and administrator-economics education for students has been sorely lacking. This spiraling software program allows teachers to begin early economic concepts and spiral throughout the grades. In our global economy this is imperative for students!"

Fond du Lac Area Catholic School Education System, WI
"I plan to use Virtual Economics with 3-5 students, especially 5th during their study of the stock market. I plan to use the glossary and multimedia presentations frequently." - Jenny Horsey, Naperville, IL "I have been using the VE CD for a few years now and love it. I ordered copies for other teachers in the district who are doing personal finance information, and they loved the search capability. You definitely have a terrific program there, every economics teacher should have access to it." - Kristen McDaniel, AP Economics, Economics and Women's Studies Teacher, Fort Atkinson High School, WI "I've used this in the classroom and I love it. Well done!" - Annie Anderson |
